Does the zero tolerance policy extend to roadblocks where the MMPs meet the county roads to check for golf cart speed settings? How about zero tolerance for exceeding the 35mph speed limit on Morse and Buena Vista? Otherwise, what percentage/number of freeloading trespassers and potential troublemakers are YOU willing to tolerate?

Also, those zero tolerance policies are going to require quite the buildup of the police force - something I've seen argued for and against in other threads.
Nice post but COMPLETELY out of context. I was not referring to MMPs or the roads with the zero-tolerance post, just pools, golf courses and rec center facilities. Morse and BV. like most roads ARE public. There probably are some outsiders using the MMPs, but if we have zero tolerance on amenities, just why would they use them? To go where? The entertainment at the squares, maybe, but not worth the long cart ride from outside TV when a car would be easier.
